Come as you are. I'll bring the camera

and probably snacks.


I’m Taylor — your queer, Shrek loving photographer that feels like home. I photograph weddings, elopements, and couples throughout Northern California, the Bay Area, and destinations worldwide. Always with care and tenderness.







 

 

 

 

The warmth you feel here is real,

 

 

and the love I have for this work — and for the people I photograph — runs deep.

Don't just take my word for it

"Taylor has become more than our photographer — she’s become a friend and someone who will forever hold a special place in our family’s hearts."

Lauren & Brandon

For couples who crave connection, humor, and a whole lotta love.

Photographs that feel rich and unmistakably you.

 

What you can expect here...

 

  An inclusive, affirming space where your identities, relationships, and boundaries are respected.


⟡  A respectful ass-shaker on the dance floor and a grounding presence when you need it.


  A photographer who prioritizes real connection—you’re truly known and seen here.


⟡  Someone who cares deeply about how the experience feels, not just how it looks.
